Little Moses
Away by the river so clear
The ladies were winding their way
And Pharaoh's little daughter
Stepped down in the water
To bathe in the cool of the day
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant was there
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant was there
And away by the water so blue
The infant was lonely and sad
She took him in pity and thought him so pretty
And it made little Moses so glad
She called him her own, her beautiful son
And sent for a nurse that was near
She called him her own, her beautiful son
And sent for a nurse that was near
And away by the river so clear
They carried the beautiful child
To his own tender mother, his sister and brother
Little Moses looked happy and smiled
His mother so good done all that she could
To rear him and teach him with care
His mother so good done all that she could
To rear him and teach him with care
And away by the sea that was red
Little Moses, the servant of God
While in him confided the sea was divided
As upward he lifted his rod
The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Was drownded in the water and lost
The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Was drownded in the water and lost
And away on the mountain so high
The last one that ever might be
While in his victorious
His hope was most glorious
He'd soon over the Jordan be free
When his labors did cease
He parted in peace
And rested in the heavens above
When his labors did cease
He parted in peace
And rested in the heavens above
Pequeño Moisés
Junto al río tan claro
Las damas se abrían paso
Y la pequeña hija del faraón
Bajó al agua
Para bañarse en la frescura del día
Antes de que oscureciera, abrió el arca
Y encontró al dulce bebé allí
Antes de que oscureciera, abrió el arca
Y encontró al dulce bebé allí
Y junto al agua tan azul
El bebé estaba solo y triste
Ella lo tomó con compasión y lo encontró tan bonito
Y eso hizo que el pequeño Moisés se alegrara
Lo llamó su propio hijo hermoso
Y mandó llamar a una nodriza cercana
Lo llamó su propio hijo hermoso
Y mandó llamar a una nodriza cercana
Y junto al río tan claro
Llevaron al hermoso niño
A su tierna madre, su hermana y hermano
Pequeño Moisés lucía feliz y sonreía
Su madre tan buena hizo todo lo que pudo
Para criarlo y enseñarlo con cuidado
Su madre tan buena hizo todo lo que pudo
Para criarlo y enseñarlo con cuidado
Y junto al mar que era rojo
Pequeño Moisés, siervo de Dios
Mientras en él confiaba, el mar se dividía
Mientras levantaba su vara hacia arriba
Los judíos podían cruzar mientras el ejército del faraón
Se ahogaba en el agua y se perdía
Los judíos podían cruzar mientras el ejército del faraón
Se ahogaba en el agua y se perdía
Y en la montaña tan alta
El último que pudiera ser
Mientras en su victoria
Su esperanza era gloriosa
Pronto estaría libre sobre el Jordán
Cuando cesaron sus labores
Partió en paz
Y descansó en los cielos arriba
Cuando cesaron sus labores
Partió en paz
Y descansó en los cielos arriba
